This image is very old and extremely beautiful. It has been lovingly retouched and enhanced for printing while keeping to the authenticity of the original piece. However, it continues to truly show its age, and, to many, this adds charm. There are some wrinkles, stains and tears that were purposely left behind, for it couldn’t really keep the same warm feel that a pristine retouching job would have brought. Appreciate the flaws and see the subtle extra umph that is present in these stunning antique seed catalogue covers and seed packs. If you love all things floral and antique, these enhancements do add to the printing quality of your product and will continue to bring you joy every time you look at the art. This is a preservation of a true piece of old Americana at its most lovely.
